Jasmine thought again "NO wait the other way, switch that. I think. "Rubbing her forehead at her terible headache she slumped back down behind her book again.

"A point to each of you. You're certainly on the right track." He gestured to the first plant. "Celestina's plant here is spread out, and has very narrow leaves, almost like needles. The vines and how it's spread out, as well as the pale coloring indicates that it's spread out to search for sunlight, and hasn't found any. The needle-like leaves indicate that there has been little to no water in its lifetime."

He gestured to the other plant, which was very tall. "This is a little more like what you would find in the desert. It's so tall because it's had a direct source of sunlight, and the needle-like leaves once again indicates that it's had little to no water. And especially in direct sunlight, this is rather a problem."

He walked over and scraped the stalk of each plant with his thumbnail, and each time he ended up with some white, waxy stuff on his fingernail. Holding it up to show the class, he asked, "does anyone know why this would be on these two plants?"
